What our analysis found
Selectext: Copy Text from Videos, used by 200,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in October 2026.
Analyst notes
The extension sends video frames to [domain withheld] for OCR and logs selection analytics to the same first-party domain. These actions are consistent with the extension's stated purpose of copying text from videos and with the CWS-disclosed data collection categories (personally identifiable information, user activity, website content). No data is exfiltrated to third parties, and permissions like browsingData are only used to clear the publisher's own cache. The code is straightforward and does not contain any obfuscation, remote code loading, or credential theft.

About this extension
Copy text directly from videos on YouTube and any website.
Read the publisherโs full description
Tired of typing out text trapped inside of videos? Selectext lets you easily copy on-screen text directly from any video. Copy notes from lectures, code from tutorials, links from social media videos, or even handwritten text in seconds. Selectext is designed to speed up your workflow without getting in the way. The video you are watching will be seamlessly enhanced with the ability to copy text - even in full screen. Itโs the fastest way to grab the text you want without any unnecessary steps. Join thousands of other Selectext users to save hours of time every day. โค How it works Simply pause the video and click the Selectext toggle button that comes up in the top left corner. You can then select the text you want from the video and it will be automatically copied to your clipboard. Paste the text anywhere like your favourite note taking app or code editor. โค Extra tips Use the keyboard shortcut instead of clicking the toggle and pausing the video to speed up the process even further - Alt+S on Windows or Option+S on Mac. Selectext has a customisable menu that allows you to personalise the extension to suit your needs. You can change how the text is displayed, or change how the text is copied to the clipboard. Indentation mode for copying code will preserve the indentation of the code. This is important for programming languages such as Python. โค Supported languages and sites Selectext uses the latest AI Computer Vision (OCR) technology to detect the text in the video. It supports detecting text in 50+ languages including English, Hindi, Turkish, French, Spanish and many more. Selectext works on all video sites including Youtube, Udemy, Coursera, Sharepoint, as well as social media sites and university / college lecture recordings. โค Need help?
